The cabinet has a stepped top with incurvate sides, over a cabinet mounted with bronze plaques. The panels have inlaid with cattails and wheat sheaves. Satinwood-lined interior of scalloped shelves, raised on a stepped blocked base with bracket feet.
The cabinet is in fine condition. The measurements are height 54 inches, width 69 1/2 inches, depth 18 inches.
PS: The gilt bronze mounts on the stile capitals used in this example are identical to those used on a stamped cabinet by Alexander Roux at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (see Tracy and Johnson, 19th century America, Furniture and Other Decorative Arts, pl. 164) and also found on another Roux cabinet at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute (see D’Ambrosio, Masterpieces of American Furniture from the Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute, p. 107 |
